We do (atleast, i do) use Thesaurus very often and those text based thesaurus would list out a couple of synonyms related to our(my) word. This thesaurus, Visual Thesaurus is one step ahead of those clumsy thesaurus of the older times. Though, both of ‘em give the same synonyms for a word, the synonyms are listed out like the structure of axons in our body.
It does not come free, but Free Trials are there. So,why not use the free trials whenever you want to search something.

On 30th of Aug there was the yearly Samba Festival at Asakusa, Tokyo. It was the 28th Samba Festival. This samba festival was a smaller version of the one at Rio, Brazil. There were around 20 groups. There are around 7 samba schools in Tokyo. Though the name ‘Samba’, most of the participants were japanese.
I, along with my friend reached Asakusa at around 12:00pm and took our seat [on d floor 
] at the road side; with my Nikon D80. The first group came at exact 1:30pm. In a group there were many sub groups. There was a break of around 5 minutes between each group.
